IIRC we talked about adding just a "backing-device", or the like (probably
something a bit more explicit w.r.t. to removable), property to existing
datastores, and then pretty much handle them like existing ones.

That way we can reuse most of existing infrastructure and functionality,
what changes is a different (or no) error on sync, GC, etc. (or repeat skipped
jobs when plugged in) and the "auto-mount + activate in PBS" via udev helper.
